What Amplified does

Amplified is a decentralized finance protocol headquartered in London, founded in 2023, that operates an AI-managed yield optimization layer on top of Ethereum liquid staking and liquid restaking infrastructure. Its core offering is the Super Vault, a tokenized vault system built on the ERC-4626 standard with EIP-2535 Diamond modularity, which aggregates deposits and routes them across a curated set of underlying liquid staking token (LST) and liquid restaking token (LRT) assets — including stETH, eETH, ezETH, rswETH, ETHx, uniETH, rsETH, sfrxETH, and pufETH — and across DeFi strategies in protocols such as Uniswap v3/v4, AAVE, Curve, GearBox, Yearn, Pendle, Sommelier, FRAX, Beefy, Arrakis, and Merkle. The strategy selection and rebalancing layer is operated by an AI Agent Swarm comprising Data Analysis, Strategy Generation, and Execution & Monitoring components, supplemented by a proprietary Automated Liquidity Manager for concentrated-liquidity positions. The product surface includes three AI-managed yield-bearing tokens — aiETH, aiBTC, and aiUSD — and operates across Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, and Monad.

The protocol generates revenue via a Platform Commission charged on Net Revenue (Staking Rewards minus Slashing and Penalties), with the specific commission rate not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is product-led and permissionless: users connect self-custodial wallets (MetaMask, WalletConnect, Trezor, Ledger) directly to the amplified.fi interface with no KYC, and growth is driven through Discord, X, content marketing, a two-level referral system paying 20% / 10% of points, and a tiered loyalty point program. Governance is mediated by the LLT (Love LLT Token) and its staked counterpart weLoveLLT, which confers voting rights over protocol parameters, strategy approvals, fee structures, and treasury management.

Amplified is a private company with 11–50 employees, no publicly disclosed funding rounds beyond a cohort of named crypto-native backers (cspdao, Singularity, Rarestone Capital, 0xPlasma, Artemis Capital, PAID Network, Andromeda Capital, NXGen), and Terms of Service governed by the laws of the Republic of Panama. Its strategic customer targets are retail DeFi users seeking diversified, automated LST exposure and — per its positioning — institutional investors and hedge funds seeking ETH yield access under a compliant smart-contract framework. The protocol restricts onboarding from a list of OFAC-aligned and select jurisdictions (including the US, Canada, China, Russia, Iran, North Korea), and its Protocol Launch and Token Generation Event are scheduled for Q2 and Q3 respectively.

Core offering

Amplified is an AI-driven DeFi protocol that operates a multi-chain "Super Vault" issuing tokenized yield-bearing shares — aiETH, aiBTC, and aiUSD — which aggregate and optimize yield across liquid staking and liquid restaking tokens (LSTs/LRTs). An AI Agent Swarm combined with an Automated Liquidity Manager dynamically allocates deposits to underlying protocols and rebalances positions to maximize risk-adjusted returns. Revenue is generated through a Platform Commission on Net Revenue earned by the vaults.

Product overview

Amplified is a DeFi protocol offering AI-driven yield-bearing assets built on top of liquid staking derivative (LST/LRT) protocols. The core product line consists of aiETH, aiBTC, and aiUSD — tokenized yield-bearing assets managed through an AI Agent Swarm that executes autonomous DeFi strategies within the Super Vault infrastructure. The Super Vault, built on ERC-4626 standards, aggregates LST assets from 10+ protocols (including Lido, Frax, Rocket Pool, Stader, Ether Fi, Renzo, Kelp, and Swell) and deploys them across DeFi strategies using Uniswap, Curve, AAVE, and other protocols. The platform is governed by the LLT token via DAO mechanisms, with a Community Loyalty Program providing points-based rewards for depositors.

Products and services

• aiETH Tokenized vault share representing a yield-bearing, AI-optimized position across liquid staking and liquid restaking protocols denominated in ETH. It is designed for DeFi users who want automated exposure to ETH staking and restaking yield without managing individual protocol positions.
• aiBTC Tokenized vault share representing a yield-bearing position in BTC across LST and LRT strategies, allocated by the AI Agent Swarm. It is intended for users seeking automated BTC-denominated yield on the protocol.
• aiUSD Tokenized vault share representing a yield-bearing stablecoin position optimized by the protocol's AI Agent Swarm and Automated Liquidity Manager. It is designed for users seeking automated USD-denominated yield strategies on the protocol.
• Super Vault Core multi-chain vault architecture of the Amplified protocol that aggregates multiple LST and LRT protocols and issues tokenized yield-bearing shares (aiETH, aiBTC, aiUSD). It serves as the primary entry point for users to access AI-optimized yield strategies.
• AI Agent Swarm AI-driven allocation and rebalancing engine that monitors the Super Vault positions across underlying LST and LRT protocols and dynamically shifts allocations to optimize risk-adjusted yield. It underpins the protocol's yield strategy for both retail and institutional users.
• Automated Liquidity Manager (ALM) Automated liquidity management module that rebalances liquidity across the Super Vault and underlying LST/LRT protocols to maintain efficient capital deployment. It works in conjunction with the AI Agent Swarm to support the protocol's yield strategy.
• LLT Token Native governance and community token of the Amplified protocol, used within the weLoveLLT governance initiative to align long-term community participation with protocol direction.
• weLoveLLT Community-driven governance initiative for LLT token holders that structures how the Amplified protocol is steered and how community members participate in decision-making.

Broad incumbents

• Lido Finance: Lido is the dominant liquid staking protocol and the largest source of stETH, Amplified's foundational underlying LST. As the incumbent that Amplified builds on top of, Lido represents both Amplified's deepest dependency and its broadest competitive alternative for users seeking simple ETH staking yield.
• EigenLayer: EigenLayer is the restaking infrastructure layer that Amplified's LRT functionality relies on. As the foundational protocol enabling the >$13B LRT category, EigenLayer is the upstream incumbent whose success directly drives Amplified's addressable market.

Direct peers

• Kelp DAO: Kelp DAO is a leading liquid restaking protocol issuing rsETH on EigenLayer. Amplified integrates rsETH as an underlying LST but Kelp's own LRT and aggregated yield products compete for the same restaking capital.
• Renzo Protocol: Renzo issues ezETH, one of the largest liquid restaking tokens. Amplified bundles ezETH as a core LST input while Renzo pursues its own LRT strategy aggregation — making them simultaneously partner and competitor.
• Pendle Finance: Pendle tokenizes future yield into Principal and Yield tokens for trading. Amplified integrates Pendle as an underlying strategy but also competes as an alternative yield-optimization interface for the same LST/LRT principal.
• Convex Finance: Convex optimizes Curve LP yields via boosted CRV rewards and is one of the largest DeFi yield optimization protocols. Amplified integrates Curve as an underlying protocol and competes for the same yield-seeking LP capital with broader LST coverage.
• Yearn Finance: Yearn is the canonical DeFi yield aggregator, using automated vaults to optimize yield across lending, liquidity provision, and staking protocols. Amplified directly competes as a next-generation, AI-driven yield aggregator with broader LST/LRT coverage.
• Eigenpie: Eigenpie is a liquid restaking aggregator built on EigenLayer, packaging multiple LRTs into yield-optimized vaults. It is the closest direct competitor to Amplified's aiETH product in the LRT aggregator category.
• Sommelier Finance: Sommelier uses cellars (automated vaults) managed by strategy proposers to optimize DeFi yields. Amplified integrates Sommelier as a partner while competing with its managed-vault thesis enhanced by AI agent strategy generation.
• Beefy Finance: Beefy is a multi-chain yield optimizer with auto-compounding vaults across dozens of chains. Amplified directly references Beefy as an integration partner but also competes for the same yield-maximizing depositors, particularly on Ethereum L2s.
